Have you seen this show?\u00a0 It’s the best idea. EVER!<\/p>\n
First off, the name alone means it’s gonna be great.\u00a0\u00a0Cookery?!\u00a0 ‘Nuf said.\u00a0 Sooooo much more romantic than plain, ole’\u00a0American “cook-ing”.\u00a0 And it’s filmed in Gordon Ramsey’s\u00a0converted barn in some English countryside manor-home somewhere.\u00a0 And it\u00a0stars GORDON RAMSEY!<\/p>\n
Hell,\u00a0they could’ve called it Ripper Street Cookery Course (have you noticed that anything having to do with Jack the Ripper is still really HOT across the pond?\u00a0 Weirdos.), but if it’s\u00a0filming from Gordon’s\u00a0window-y, converted barn AND Gordon is the star?\u00a0 I’m in.\u00a0 No questions asked.\u00a0\u00a0I can’t get enough of his sensitive Yorkshire Ruffian persona.\u00a0 But that may just be me.\u00a0 I also think pirates are hot.<\/p>\n
I digress.\u00a0 Back to best idea.\u00a0 EVER!\u00a0 He’s gonna teach me!\u00a0\u00a0Little ol’ jobless, home mom me\u00a0(what up, what up!\u00a0 Home Mom keepin’ it real in C to the O), how to\u00a0gain cooking\u00a0confidence.\u00a0 AND?\u00a0 He’s gonna share with me his top 100 recipes to make me a much better cook.<\/p>\n
OMG!!!\u00a0 Now I’m feeling like the\u00a0screaming Beetles fan of cookery courses,\u00a0all worked into a tizzy.<\/p>\n
Simple, accessible recipes and Gordon’s gonna be “holding me by the hand” the whole way. (mmmmm hmmmmm – I am not\u00a0opposed to accessible hand holding, you ruffian!)<\/p>\n
But first off, he’s gonna teach me\u00a0some quick tips on de-heading and de-boning our own salmon filet.\u00a0 Whaaaaaa??!\u00a0 Whaaaa the fuhhhhhh?!??<\/p>\n
Ok, he pronounced it fih-lETT which is super cool, but I already KNOW how to de-head and de-bone a salmon fih-lETT.\u00a0 It’s called going to Whole\u00a0Foods and\u00a0buying it de-headed and de-boned from the man-in-the-soiled-apron\u00a0behind the counter.<\/p>\n
[do you remember that Meatloaf song “I Would Do Anything for Love, But I Won’t Do That”?\u00a0 Well, now it’s stuck in my head and my version goes like this: “I would do anything to cook with Gordon Ramsey, but I won’t do THAT!”]\u00a0 We don’t do THAT in this country, Gordon.<\/p>\n
So that segment was a bit of a bust, but we’re moving on to making spicy, home-made chutney you can keep in your icebox (Icebox?\u00a0 Did you catch that?\u00a0 Aaaaaahhhhh!\u00a0 And CHUTNEY???\u00a0 AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!\u00a0 How quickly we transform from disillusionment back into\u00a0screaming cookery superfan).<\/p>\n
The whole chutney\u00a0scene takes up most of the rest of the segment.\u00a0 Stiiickky.\u00a0 SpiIIICY.\u00a0 CHUTNEY!!<\/p>\n
And when it’s done?\u00a0 Gordon lusciously serves…a tablespoon of it with\u00a0three slices\u00a0of ham on a plate.<\/p>\n
Whaaaaa?!\u00a0 A tablespoon of sticky, spicy chutney served alongside three slices of rolled-up ham\u00a0on a plate??\u00a0 Are you shi**in’ me, Gordon?!?<\/p>\n
This is why you folks lost the war.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
